Robot vacuum powers off unexpectedly during cleaning even though the battery was recently charged.

Safety first: Turn OFF the robot and remove it from the dock before accessing the battery.

• 1. Check runtime: Note how long the robot runs before shutting off. Very short runtimes indicate a weak battery.
• 2. Reseat battery: Open the battery compartment, disconnect the battery, inspect the connector for corrosion, then reconnect firmly.
• 3. Full recharge: Charge the robot on the dock for at least 4–6 hours and test again.
• 4. Replace battery: If shutdowns continue, replace the iHome lithium‑ion battery pack.
• 5. If unresolved: Persistent power loss after battery replacement may require replacing the main control board.
